the problem noone mentions with PWAs is that simple users do not know what A2HS means. They dont know what a PWA is so in the end we are talking about a web page that is mobile friendly.
- Cthulhu_ 8y agoWith a popup asking to be added to the home screen. A lot of mobile websites I visit (usually if my HN reader app can't parse the content) either have one of those, or have it hidden somewhere in the other popups - sign up for our newsletter, agree to our cookies, fixed headers, etc.
- jklinger410 8y agoAs soon as we can "install" PWAs natively and launch them like an app from our phones they will go unused. The way the browser is currently being used to serve PWAs on mobile doesn't make any sense. No one wants to bookmark a website onto their phone and then have it load up inside a browser. It's clunky and dumb. Not sure why this is taking so long but it is holding back the wide spread use of PWAs.
